Review on ☕️ Tayama TMS-838 Portable Hot and Cold Espresso Machine, Black, One Size by David Herrera

Revainrating 2 out of 5

UPDATE: no longer works; ground coffee poured into cup

My original review from a few months ago is below. It recently stopped working with my ground coffee. Looking at the individual components makes it very difficult for me to figure out the problem (nothing is clogged or loose), but when I remove the lid after pumping hot water through the chamber, the water and coffee grounds just flow in the cup. under. I could try capsules to see if they work, but I prefer not to use capsules. It's a shame because I've been enjoying a really great cup of espresso/latte every day since I bought it in May and in such a short time it's now useless. First Review May 2019. looking for a suitable coffee maker for less than $100. I have a cheap Mr. Coffee (print style) (horrible) and AeroPress (also terrible but slightly better than Mr. Coffee). I care about the environment, so I really wanted something that would allow me to use my own territory. I'm not sure how I came across this hand pump coffee maker but I was literally shocked that it produces a great espresso flavor. So easy to use and so easy to clean. You can use K-cup capsules, but why produce more plastic that ends up in the oceans? This espresso machine gets a lot of praise from me.

Pros
  • espresso makers
Cons
  • volume
